An easy read with nice landscape descriptions, but I feel like there's not much else good to say about it.
- The first half was so similar to 'The Guest List' that I just felt like I was reading the same book.
- Pretty much all the characters were childish and insufferable (I know that's the point, but I didn't enjoy it in this case) - I did like Doug and Heather though.
- I never believed the red herring storylines had anything to do with the murder, and it felt like they were just taking up space.
- The ending dragged out for so long with explanations that I had already assumed enough of that just one page to confirm would have done for me.
- This one is nit-picky, but in most remote locations, you can still call the emergency services, even without normal signal. If they could get signal at the top of a mountain, the likelihood is they could have called the police on the estate grounds.
